I don't believe I've ever plugged a soccer game (sorry -- I meant match) on FWIW, but Audrey Cosgrove, the President of the Advocates Society, asked if I might promote the Saturday, August 27 match between the Chicago Fire and CF Montreal, at 7:00 p.m. at Soldier Field. Still, it's not as much of a stretch as you might think: One of my many ex-partners, Mark Boyle, was at one time the Soccer King of the South Side. Or at least a contender for the throne.
The match will be a fundraiser for the Polish Museum of America, with a portion of ticket proceeds to be donated to that institution.
This link will give interested persons all the information they need, including a variety of ticket options.
(Things sure have changed, though. The last time I saw the Chicago Fire play at Soldier Field, Virgil Carter was the quarterback....)
Happy Groundhog's Day for those of you who celebrate

Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter. Woodstock Willie,
on the other hand, is predicting an early spring. The on-and-off snow
flurries...

Thank you Audrey and Jack. Hopefully there will be a big crowd cheering the Fire on while assisting a cultural institution in Chicago.
